IIUC, the vary: user-agent to accomodate Netscape 4 is a pain for
caches because obviously they can only vary on the entire user-agent.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html
Is it time to move this aspect of the snippet into a separate note or
some historical trivia section, to remove the Vary?

On the same topic, are there still non-academic CSS and JS compression
issues (e.g. XP-era browsers, earlier, later, ???) Should we instead
account for these in the "complicated/more compression" example, and
is there a way to do so without adding the Vary right back in?
